Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Prior to photomechanical reproduction, printmakers produced copperplate engravings after major frescoes and paintings to document and distribute artistic compositions across Europe for scholars and collectors.

The process uses a polished copper plate hand-engraved with a steel burin, inked, and pressed under heavy rollers onto rag paper, resulting in precise linear details and defined tonal shading.

Authentic prints feature a visible rectangular platemark depression around the image, fine hand-engraved line variations, and heavy, laid rag paper with characteristic chain lines.

Display the framed piece above a timber sideboard or integrate it into an eclectic gallery wall, contrasting historic figurative subject matter with clean contemporary lines.

Keep the print mounted with acid-free board behind protective glass, avoiding direct exposure to sunlight or humid environments to prevent foxing and discolouration.
